Repeated error message in terminal

Since upgrading to 10.6, I get a whole bunch of copies of the following message whenever I open the terminal (and I use it a lot).
dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache
And a bunch of messages such as the following in the System.log.
Sep 5 16:12:13 AlansMacMini org.x.privileged_startx[489]: dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache

Can anyone tell me what it means and how to get rid of it?

First off, you should post Unix and Terminal queries to the Unix forum under OS X Technologies. That said, using *locate dyld sharedcache* on my system brings up, among other thing, an updatedyld_sharedcache command. A quick run through its manpage reveals that you should run:

*sudo update dyld_sharedcache* and reboot or do a safe boot which deletes the cache and reboot.

An easy way to fix it is that to download and install Xcode 3.2.1 Developer Tools (this version is for Mac OS 10.6). It solved the problem in my case. I was using Xcode for MacOS 10.5 before.
